HYOSUNG GT650 COMET

 

 
 

The Hyosung GT650 's 90 degree V-twin has been taken to the extreme to ensure the ultimate rush. A quick look at the specification for the Hyosung GT650 make for interesting reading – the GT650 is heavier than the Suzuki SV650 that it most closely resembles (down to using a double-cradle steel frame, as opposed to the aluminium one used on the Japanese machine). But the new engine puts out more power and torque than its Japanese rival. Initial thoughts on the bike seem to be that it is more softly sprung than the SV – but as the GT650 will spend most of it’s life in towns (like the naked SV, it is an ideal commuter bike), that is no bad thing. That additional weight seems to make the Hyosung less responsive – but this could be a good thing for the newly qualified rider, as they won’t be launched towards the horizon quite as aggressively.
But it is made all the more remarkable when you look at other features, such as USD forks fitted as standard – unheard of in the class before now. The Korean companies are clearly able make their bikes very competitive in terms of price – and the quality of the bikes is improving with each passing year.
You don’t need all that long a memory to recall when the Japanese bike industry moved up from smaller capacity machines to take on (and beat) the then dominant British manufacturers. With the introduction of the GT650, is history about to repeat itself?
